Michelle & Geoff's Engagement Session

Michelle and Geoff found us through WPJA which is an organization we are very proud to be associated with and look forward to referrals from them. Then, after following our Blog for a while, Michelle and Geoff met with us, liked what they saw and consequently booked us for their wedding next fall!

I met with them on a crisp Autumn day in Cold Spring Harbor for their engagement session..

From the first click of the shutter I knew they were very going to be great subjects ~ very comfortable in front of the camera and not afraid of PDA!

I usually take a few solo portraits during each session and try to capture each personality... Geoff tried not to laugh too hard at Michelle's egging on...

Then the tables were turned! I love this next photograph of Michelle with the Eskimo hood and radiant smile peaking out from underneath the fur!

Fall foliage makes for a great backdrop when you can throw it out of focus like this..

...and this is why I love Digital so much! I have an 'action' that can make any image take on the faded and muted tones of a 1977 photograph. Very beautiful I think ~ if used sparingly!

..and a couple of creative ring shots to end the session!

Michelle and Geoff ~ thank you for being such great subjects to work with. I can't wait for your wedding next year and look forward to having Geoff try out some new seating positions I've concocted for him!!
